Radio and TV presenter Fifi Box, and her estranged lover Grant Kenny, welcomed a daughter on April 5 who has been named Beatrix Belle, nicknamed “Trixie“. Trixie Box was born at 2.30 pm, and her birth was announced live on Hamish and Andy’s annual Logie show. Grant has three children with his former wife, retired swimmer Lisa Curry, and their names are Jaimi, Morgan and Jett.
Fiona or “Fifi”is co-host of Fifi and Jules on the Today radio network, and is also entertainment editor on Channel Seven’s Sunrise. You may recall that Fifi’s radio partner, Jules Lund, also welcomed a baby girl not long ago. Fifi is the sister of Kiernan Box, who is the keyboardist for indie band Augie March.
Grant is a former Ironman champion who was a household name in the 1980s, and won bronze at the 1984 Summer Olympics. He has been awarded the Order of Australia, the Australian Sports Medal, and the Centenary Medal. Grant and his ex-wife co-own the Curry Kenny Aviation group.
Fifi did not choose her daughter’s name until after she was born, and also considered the names (or nicknames?) Coco, Lulu, Gigi, and even Fifi. The name Beatrix, with its nickname Trixie, was covered on the blog only recently under names which don’t chart in Victoria (Fifi’s home state).

Love Beatrix. However, Fifi + Trixie + Belle just makes me think of Fifi Trixibelle Geldof/
Yes I saw that comment on a forum! It does almost seem an homage.
I just really dislike the name Trixie. Together Fifi and Trixie sound like a pair of Persian cats. However I love Beatrix, and think Bea is a far better nickname. Trixie cheapens the name to me if you know what I mean?
To me Trixie Box sounds like a box that’s very tricksy, but I’ll give it a chance to grow on me.
Haha yes Tricky Box was the first thing I thought as well.
Her nickname should just be B! While it’s a very B heavy name, it’s cute and Beatrix is a great name for her to grow with!
I do love the name Beatrix.
I like the combo Beatrix Belle, but I’m not sure if it works with Box.
I also find Beatrix Box a bit much – although I can see Box is a difficult surname to work with.
Box would be a difficult surname to work with, I agree. I do however like Trixie Box together, probably because the ‘x’ sound is in the middle.
